Chapter 484 The Retirement Life of a Down-on-His-Luck Tycoon 21
A series of hurried footsteps echoed back and forth, revealing that its owner was in a state of unease.
"Are you alright? You must be?" someone tentatively asked, trying to salvage the situation.
"boom--"
"Who told you to hit so hard! I already said we're in cahoots! She's my sister! Did you deliberately hit her so hard?!" A furious male voice growled as a hand slapped against a strong back.
"Bri, calm down."
"Yes!"
"She's too frail. I don't know how my older brother managed to raise her."
"Heh, my sister is smarter than all of you. She's perfectly capable of taking care of herself!" The burly man outside the door scoffed with an imposing air.
"Alright," someone advised. "Alright, Bully, you're still injured. Go back and get checked out first. There are people watching over you here."
"No, I need to wait for Xiao Youli to wake up."
Yu Li,
It was Xia Youmi's older brother, Xia Youlan, who was called Buli, and this nickname was given to his younger sister. Gradually, this way of calling her continued for ten years.
However, apart from Bully, no one else shouted that.
Not to mention outsiders who don't know her and her family, so this Brie is real, he's not dead.
"Hey!"
"Let's go! Big Brother is awake, let's call a meeting."
"Let's go, Bully. The doctor will stay."
"Ugh."
Ultimately, after being assured and persuaded by the doctor, Bully left temporarily.
Xia Youmi didn't open her eyes, but silently observed the actual interior landscape of the base.
In the center of the island, beneath the surface, lay a massive, high-tech facility. Notably, a huge submarine was docked there, with people nearby monitoring and observing data.
There weren't many people active at the base, but it was clear they were all from Valer.
No one was dissatisfied with Buli, the number one shield for Valer. Their only complaint was about the burden, Xia Youmi.
The meeting places were not far apart, and I could hear their conversations every year.
But it's only recorded every year.
Xia Youmi didn't want to bother listening; from the moment she approached the center of the island, she was completely numb.
Everything is unpredictable.
The biggest flaw Xia Youmi discovered during her nearly one year on the deserted island was the unusual sound she heard during the first heavy rain, which came from the seabed.
At that time, she asked Valer if it was a marine creature like a whale, and he did not deny it.
That was the only time they tested each other, and Xia Youmi knew clearly that it wasn't the sound waves of some kind of creature.
Though brief, given Valer's understanding of biology and nature, and his cautious nature, it was impossible for him not to have noticed it. He was merely going along with Xia Youmi's words to gloss over it; at the time, the two were not very familiar with each other, and it was highly likely that this was a cover-up that he could not easily explain away.
And now it has been confirmed that what's underwater is their submarine that they anchored in the center of the island.
That sound was simply a signal being transmitted to Valer, simulating a marine creature.
They enter from the deep north side of the ocean, but have failed to capture them year after year.
These concealments will not harm Xia Youmi herself; at most, they will cause an eighteen-year-old girl without a script to lose the meaning of survival on a hopeless desert island.
Every year, a reminder was given, and the conversation at the meeting was now turning to Xia Youmi.
Part of the explanation gleaned from the conversation is that Burry never expected to survive, and Waller never assured anyone of the plan's success. External satellite monitoring was ongoing, and it was only Pullman's actions that allowed them to remain in the jungle for an extended period without suspicion.
Both former enemies and those who surrendered to them were extremely wary of Waler's existence.
even,
The main reason why they dared not touch Wale was that they believed there were spies planted in the upper echelons of the victorious regime. Despite repeated clean-up efforts, they were still subjected to anonymous provocations, which kept the male and female protagonists constantly on edge and working hard.
Perhaps Wale truly possesses this ability, or perhaps he simply had to resort to the guise of improving efficiency in order to accelerate the construction of the new city.
Anyway,
Xia Youmi seemed like an outsider.
She didn't complain about her situation. Life on the deserted island was full of adventure, and it was also a pleasant and novel life experience for her. She didn't blame Burry for hiding it from her; he had given her sister the best conditions, and even though her injuries hadn't fully healed yet. Nor did she blame Valer; he was forced to add a variable to his plans and was, in fact, a victim.
Xia Youmi was simply unhappy about the act of forcibly bringing her into the small world.
Out of the ordinary, after being added to the plot, she, who had already experienced this once in the original book, and who was in a parallel world that had not yet been dominated, went through one hardship and unease after another.
Even after she was put in, her life was gradually shaped into a comfortable one, whether for better or worse.
She still views the act of detachment and the irresponsible human beings who make this decision as the only villains.
Normally, Xia Youmi is too busy avoiding the main plot to think about these things.
But ironically, this time her involvement was minimal, leaving too much room for interpretation. This inevitably brings to mind the traceable sources of evil that manipulate fate.
The creators who write dramatic and engaging stories are not wrong, nor are the readers, but it is wrong to use them to mock an innocent person.
Well, she seems to feel more sorry for Niannian than for herself.
at least,
A wealth of experiences and flavors are not all negative products.
"We've got rice! Let's eat together!"
"Defeat evil!"
"Conquer the future!"
Noticing Xia Youmi's unconscious low spirits, Nian Nian immediately turned on its most basic setting light to provide positive emotions.
Skillfully replenishing her energy, Xia Youmi gradually became amused.
The rapid heartbeat could no longer be concealed by the instrument readings. The doctor looked over, and Xia Youmi gave a generous smile.
After she slowly adjusted her neck and it was confirmed that there were no lasting effects, she was taken to a new ward.
This place is practically a miniature medical environment.
The food had been served, but Xia Youmi didn't rush to eat it. She waited for the doctor to finish his instructions and leave.
She was just leisurely preparing to take a bath.
After all, we got caught in a heavy rain last night, so we can't be careless.
After finally completing a thorough cleaning with readily available toiletries, Xia Youmi was still a little unaccustomed to it. She wore clean clothes with no discernible brand and shorts, and patiently combed her hair neatly.
Someone had cleaned the room before the doctor brought her there.
These items were newly unpacked and replaced, but since they couldn't take out any women's items, it indicates that, apart from what was within their field of vision, they hadn't anticipated any potential women appearing.
The meeting continued, with heated discussions that escalated into a brawl. Some were dissatisfied and even wanted to imprison the only woman to provide them with services. Others wanted to send her away, but most were waiting to hear Valer's instructions.
Bry has already gotten into a fight with several people.
However, he rarely had the opportunity to do things himself; usually, those around him would do it on his behalf.
Valle just watched, without moving an inch.
He merely swept his gaze across everyone present, his expression a thousand times colder than when he was with Xia Youmi.
"It doesn't matter anymore," Xia Youmi murmured.
She didn't wait for the scene of her properly recognizing her brother; she simply fell asleep.
And in the middle of the night,
When the meeting finally ended, all that Bry received was news that his sister had woken up and checked into her new home. He couldn't force his way in, so he suppressed his urge to come over, explain, catch up, and ask about his sister's well-being.
"Om-"
A familiar sound.
A restless night.
Plenty of supplies.
The person who was abandoned.
Xia Youmi slept soundly. When she opened her eyes in bed, she learned that the submarine had been activated through Nian Nian's information. Her room had been directly transported into the submarine, the action so swift that it didn't even wake her.
They lost a third of their subordinates.
And those who disappeared were precisely the people who had maliciously targeted Xia Youmi.
The annual updates roughly state that Waler discovered these were actually the real traitors with ulterior motives. They had infiltrated the environment and were preparing to use the matter of sending Xia Youmi away to report important information.
The nail was buried deep, and it had been cut off from the outside world for almost several years.
However, Valér still noticed.
It's just a simple introduction.
And so, before they could even relay the information from the submarine, they were left behind forever in Nigurishi.
They were piled up with the men Pullman had brought to hunt down Waller, looking like the wreckage left from a conflict between the two sides.
The entrance has been sealed off.
Shortly after departing from Mikurishi, the crew checked the cabin monitoring system.
Xia Youmi witnessed the fireworks display on the island, a display of power that could only be achieved by a giant explosive device capable of destroying the entire island.
Yet, it shines so brightly in the sunlight.
seem,
Some teams that had just landed on the island for exploration also caught up with the blooming.
Together we witnessed the scenery left behind by Valé.
Magnificent and resolute.
A colorful mushroom cloud filled with gray fog.
So far,
Valle completely disappeared from the White Realm's view.
Along with that unknown subordinate's younger sister.
